While I agree that SLOT's are not perfect, they were created to solve this problem too. If another working solution is found, that is ok for me too. But I don't want to just find my binary stops working because some of its libraries were removed from under it. Those libraries can coexist, so we should keep them to give users an opportunity to upgrade their applications to the new one. Only at that point do they become inappropriate.
